Master Gardener Projects

Master Gardener Projects

The Vermilion County Master Gardeners have established many projects that require their on-going volunteer time. Some of these include:

-Community Gardens

With a vision of offering hands-on learning to the general public, Master Gardeners developed different types of gardens in Vermilion County. The gardens give residents a place to learn about plants that do well in Vermilion County, as well as a chance to see different gardening techniques and methods. Maintenance and expansion of the gardens depends on the ideas and efforts of the Master Gardeners.

-Tuesday Night Gardening Classes

Year-round gardening classes for home gardeners are given by the Master Gardeners. Timely topics and hands-on demonstrations give residents a convenient, reliable way to get their gardening questions answered.

-Speakers' Bureau

A willing group of Master Gardeners who enjoy sharing their knowledge with young and old alike. They give presentations to schools, clubs, and organizations in the area.
